SPEGI-FICATION forming part or Letters Patent No. 712,867, dated November 4, 1902.

I Application filed June 28, 1902. Serial Noll3,681. (N0 model-l the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

'llhis invention has been devised for the purpose of providinga tobacco-pipe that will absorb the nicotin given off. from the tobacco when burning and that will have a cool eifect upon the smoke, so as to afford what is The invention consists in placing separate blocks of pumice in the bottom of the pipebowl, in the stem, andin the broad end'of the mouthpiece. The blocks in the stem and mouthpiece are rced with longitudinal holes through their center to form a passageway for the smoke, while the block in the.

bowl is made solid and of such a size as to leave a passage around it to the bottom of the bowl. Fine steel pins run longitudinally through the blocks in the stem and mouthpiece and their ends project out into the space between them and serve as finger-holds for removing the blocks for cleansing purposes.

' The pumice will absorb the nicotin from the tobacco, and when the blocks become dirty or clogged they may readily be removed, cleansed, and replaced. The pumice blockswill also tend to cool the smoke as it passes through them.

The accompanying drawing illustrates the application of my invention, the pipe being shown in longitudinal section, while the pumice blocksare in elevation.

is shaped to fit the box.

The pumice blocks 6 and g are each pierced through their center with a minute drawhole (shpwn by dotted lines in the drawing) and each may have inserted into their ends.

the fine metal rods h, which serve as fingerholds to remove the blocks for cleansing purposes.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

ln-tobacco-pipes, a hollow stem and a hollow removable mouthpiece, in combination with blocks of pumice shaped to fit within the hollows of the stem and mouthpiece and in the bottom of the bowl of the pipe, the blocks of pumice within the stem and mouthpiece being each pierced longitudinally with a drawhole and provided with means whereby they may be handled, as herein set forth.

In testimony whereof I havessigned this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
